The Carson Ranger District of the Toiyabe National Forest extends along the eastern front of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, straddling the Nevada/California border in a strip about 15 miles wide and 96 miles long. From a few miles northwest of Reno, the lands stretch to the south through two states and eight counties along the Carson Range, passing between Lake Tahoe and Carson City, then on to Sonora Peak on the crest and Topaz Lake at the foot. The name "toiyabe" comes from a Shoshone Nation term meaning the "black mountains," and from a distance the mountains look black because of the dark green pinyon and juniper stands covering the mountain range.
